Just back from my first match at Plough Lane

First half London completely on Top, Dewsbury did not look like they had got off the coach, as first 3 attacks, London scored and 18-0 up. Then some good defence before fourth try, and going in at half time 22-0 seemed surreal (this was my first game this season, but London completely on top and playing well).

2nd half was 100% reverse, London hardly touched the ball first 20 mins (plus going down to 12 men), and dewsbury scored 3 tries down both flanks (london looked shot). However luckily all 3 conversions missed, so still a 10 point lead, before they managed to quell the storm and score 3 late tries.

A win is a win, but if the rams had got it back to even scores, would have been different result, but the broncos did deserve the win.

PL is a nice compact ground, but too big for London right now, was about 700 or so I would guess tonight, looking at 3 empty stands does not look great. Also catering was abysmal (I assume this is as normally you would have the south stand open). My dad is Veggie, and all they had was a pie nothing else (not even chips), and no burgers either (although we did not go into the bar, maybe they had more food there).

Also playing in Warrington tops really does not sit well, if they want to be blue and yellow, do not have a chevron, have something original and not an old warrington design. I would prefer they go back to black asap tbh.

I think they will stay up, but only because they are better than Dewsbury and Workington.

Maybe a minor thing, but watching the highlights reminded me that on Sunday it looked from my seat like the Wimbledon ground staff had done absolutely nothing to reduce the visibility of the football pitch markings

Hardly any point as Footy finished & us soon on the road. But it has been noticeable that a lot of joint football/rugby pitches have lines not greened out very well. Brentford, Wigan, Bristol City particularly come to mind.

Pitch markings are a lot better than what they were, they look worse on video than in real life. Problem one for players and officials on Sunday was the try line and edge of football goal 6 yard box

With regard to the football, there are matches both this Saturday and next Saturday at Plough Lane.

Full game is now on YouTube courtesy, obviously, of the Rams. If you’ve not seen it may want to give it a view Chisholm, Bienek and Parata impressive.
